Aluminium - alloy Tank Semi - trail
1. Petroleum Product Transportation for High - value and Cleanliness - required Goods
• Aluminium alloy tank semi - trailers are highly suitable for transporting high - grade refined petroleum products such as aviation kerosene and high - quality gasoline. For example, in the
aviation fuel supply chain, the use of aluminium alloy tanks helps to ensure the purity of the fuel. Due to its non - reactive and smooth interior surface, it minimizes the risk of contaminating
the fuel during transportation, which is crucial for the high - performance engines in the aviation industry.
• It is also a good choice for transporting clean - burning fuels and bio - fuels. The non - porous nature of the aluminium alloy surface prevents the absorption and retention of impurities, so
the transported fuels can maintain their original quality and characteristics.
2. Applications in the Food - grade Liquid Transportation
• When it comes to the transportation of food - grade liquids such as edible oils and certain types of food concentrates, aluminium alloy tank semi - trailers are preferred. Aluminium alloy is
a non - toxic material that meets strict food - safety standards. It does not release harmful substances into the transported food products and provides a hygienic environment for the liquids.
The smooth interior of the tank also makes it easier to clean thoroughly after each use, ensuring that there is no residue or contamination for the next batch of food - grade liquids.
3. Corrosion - prone Environments and Coastal Transportation
• In areas with high humidity or in coastal regions where the air contains a significant amount of salt, aluminium alloy tank semi - trailers have a distinct advantage. Aluminium has a natural
resistance to corrosion,especially against the corrosive effects of salt-laden air and seawater spray.This resistance significantly reduces the maintenance costs associated with rust and corrosion
compared to carbon - steel tank semi - trailers. It is more durable in such harsh environments and can provide a longer service life for transportation operations in coastal areas or regions with
a humid climate.
Carbon - steel Tank Semi - trailers
1. General - purpose Petroleum and Chemical Product Transportation
• Carbon - steel tank semi - trailers are widely used for transporting a wide range of petroleum products such as diesel, fuel oil, and various types of crude oil. They can also handle a variety
of chemical products that are not highly corrosive to carbon steel. For example, in the transportation of industrial solvents and some common chemical raw materials, carbon-steel tank
semi - trailers provide a cost - effective solution. Their robust construction allows them to withstand the rigors of long - distance transportation and the pressure exerted by the liquid cargo.
2. Heavy - duty and Bulk Liquid Transportation
• For the transportation of large - volume and heavy - density liquids such as concentrated acids (where the acid is not overly corrosive to carbon steel) and liquid fertilizers, carbon - steel
tank semi - trailers are a practical option. Their strong structural integrity enables them to carry heavy loads without deformation. They are designed to handle the high - volume demands
of industrial applications, such as transporting bulk quantities of chemicals from production plants to distribution centers or end - users.
3. Cost - sensitive Transportation Scenarios
• In situations where cost is a major factor and the transported liquid does not have strict requirements for non - reactivity and ultra - high cleanliness, carbon - steel tank semi - trailers are
more favored. The material cost of carbon steel is relatively lower than that of aluminium alloy. The manufacturing process of carbon - steel tank semi - trailers is also more straightforward
and less expensive in some cases. This makes them a more economical choice for transportation operations where budget constraints play a significant role and the nature of the cargo
allows for the use of carbon - steel containers.
